TENDER WHEN I WANT TO BE (Mary Chapin Carpenter)
------------------------------------------------
[Actually in F; capo 5. Each chord is half a measure, except two chords
joined by a hyphen are a half-measure total.]
[In MCC's 1995 tour, she performed a version of this song that was straight
rock 'n' roll. That version had pretty much the same chords, except the
bridge (the part with "I never would have known it...") used Dm Dm Em Em
rather than Dm7GCC/E.]
CCFFGGCF - G
[intro]
CCFFGGC - CsusC [stop]
[intro]
CC
I have a heart that's proud, you bet
FF
I have a mind that won't forget
GGCF - G
That I have arms that are strong yet tender when they wanna be

Well you can be the will that finds the way
FF
You can be the one who saves the day
GGCC
But show me tender when it's time to say exactly how it oughta be
Dm7G
And I never would've known it, darlin'
CC/E
If I hadn't known about you
FFGG [stop]
You said everyone can be a rock and roll like a river too
Well something happens when you find someone
Makes you feel like you can do no wrong
You don't have to take the whole world on, just be tender when you wanna be
CCFFGGCF - G
Sha la la la laa laaa [instrumental]
CCFFGGCC
[baritone guitar solo]
And I never would've known it baby
If I hadn't known about you
You said everyone can be a rock and roll like a river too
So let the waters carry us away
Wave goodbye to the old parade
Baby, when we're unafraid to be tender when we wanna be
All the waters wash our cares away
All that we can see are better days
Don't ever let me hesitate to be tender when I wanna be
CF - GCF - G
Sha la la la la laa laaa, sha la la la laa laaa
CF - GCC.
Sha la la la la laa laaa
